You (Remix)


[Andre 3000]
I said, "what time you get off?"
She said, "when you get me off"
I kinda laughed but it turned into a cough
Because I swallowed down the wrong pipe
Whatever that mean, you know old people say it so it sounds right
So I'm standing there embarrassed, if we were both in Paris
I would have grabbed her by the waist and kissed her, but
We in the middle of whole foods, and those fools
Ain't supposed to beef, but you'd think they hated tofu the
Check-out line got rowdy, my vision got cloudy
I started seeing some circles like some audi
Emblem, I'm hearing them say, 'come on man
Do this own your own time, get the hell on, man'
I walked out, mmm, I got bout
Half-way to my car when I heard shorty shout
"3000, forgot your credit card," smart move
"By the way, my little sister loves your cartoon"
Well, here's my name and numb
If I ain't the one/
Lose it/
If I am/
Use it
If a man chooses/
And he can, lose it/
And he don't, don't take it personal, he might be might be swamped
With making mozarella - no, making worlds bettter
Cheese will come, believe me I'm, never focussed on the cash
Ask Mel Gibson, Jesus Christ, I'm bout the pass... ion

[Lloyd]
STOP, baby bring that thang back
You know where my heart at
Shorty show ya boy some love
Cause I'm about to lose it
With the way you move it
It's making me wanna get to it
Girl tell me what it do

I'm a player, yes it's true, but...

[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

The song "You (Remix)" by Lloyd featuring Lil' Wayne and Andre 3000 is a love song with a mix of rap and R&B vibes. In the first verse, Andre 3000 describes a funny encounter he had with a woman in a grocery store, which turned into a coughing fit. He expresses his attraction to her and even imagines grabbing her by the waist and kissing her. However, the situation doesn't allow for that, so he leaves her his name and number, and tells her to use it if she wants to.


Lloyd's chorus expresses his desire for love and his need to leave with someone he is attracted to. The bridge is a repetition of the chorus but with Lil' Wayne's rap verse added, where he expresses his attraction to a woman who is already in a committed relationship, and how he would leave all his other women for her.


Overall, the song is about finding someone you're attracted to and wanting to spend time with them, regardless of their relationship status. It's a mix of vulnerability, humor, and bravado, which makes it appealing to listeners.
